Update:MichelleMalkin has the RollCall of the vote on the Slaughter Rule. 222 Democrats in the House climbed aboard Pelosi and Obama’s Crazy Train.I am very proud to report my Critter broke against the flow of dead fish as Sarah would say and voted No.Big Booyah to Harry Mitchell AZ 05!!! The rest of the Crew will be on the Highway to Hell with their constituents come Easter Recess..good luck with that!

Question: Why did Democrats Jason Altmire and Stephen Lynch, who both have voiced public opposition to Deem-and-Pass tactics, support the Slaughter House resolution?

Dirty Deeds Update:Lookee here, new Union payoffs added. A NEW EXCITING way to kill construction jobs!

The labor leaders will swallow a change in the plan under which more high-cost health care plans like those afforded many public workers will be hit with a new excise tax, but they say they are satisfied with other elements — notably a delay in the new tax — that have remained, and also see two gains in the revised bill.

First, the delay will now apply to all plans, not just collectively bargained plans. Though the change was made to avoid the appearance of a special deal with labor, the meeting participant called the change “a pretty big f***ing deal” to union leaders, who see themselves as representing workers at large and were “very happy about it.”

Second, labor leaders have won a commitment from the White House and congressional leaders to pass the Merkley Amendment, which would require large construction contractors to provide health care for employees, a top priority of building trade unions.

This is it! Hold the line! They DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES. We must keep calling. DO NOT FADE OUT! If we can keep it on the line until after Sunday it will die on that hill…

The taxes are coming..the taxes are coming… STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS!

Congress Daily’s Anna Edney reports that a final CBO score will come out Saturday or Sunday, a most unfortunate bit of imprecision considering the vote on the bill will occur on the latter.

UPDATE: Rep Paul Ryan says there IS NO CBO SCORE yet, it is just MSM helping the Fauxmentum, what toolz! The Corner:

House Budget Committee Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.

Rep. James Clyburn stated he was ‘giddy’ about these unsubstantiated numbers. This is the latest outrageous exploitation by the Majority — in this case abusing the confidentiality of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — to pass their massive health care overhaul at any cost.”

This CBO reporting this morning really is remarkable to me — the news is simply what Steny Hoyer says it is.

The Critters have talked up the 940B CBO score..but NO DETAILS YET…the taxes are in there and they are even bigger than we originally thought…
